OißOit THE COURT GAZE'T'TE.) I ST. PEXERSBURbiI, SEPT. 7.—" Oil the oth of August. (O—S) Admiral CHANYKOW sailed from. Hangudd, with his Squadron, e.,esisei s ting• or nine Sail of the Line and nine Frigates; adl . steered for Jongevrouw Sontid, to reconnoitre the strength and position of the enemy, and to ad according to circtimstances. He discoyefed the ene e ' niy's fleet, consisting of 18 Ships and Frigates, in Jongevrousie at anchor in the Scheeren. Admiral CHANYKOW cruized there with his Sqnadron until the 13th, when he Peatned from his advanced Fri gates that the enemy were Weighing anthor. The Admiral immediately detaOhed a Sloop of War to observe the enemy, placed himself in Older of bat tle, made sail to the East, Ito prevent being cut off from his ports, where it was Pais intention to comb mence a general engagement. In the afternoon of the same day there was perceived'from the mast head the enemy's Squadron, reinforced by two Eng lish Ships, in chace of our Fleet. The next morn ing Admiral CHANYKOW determined to attack the enemy, and kept tacking during the night to gain the wind of the enemy. At day-break the enemy's fleet, consisting of 13 Sail of tne Line and five large frigates, was seen to leeward. Among them were two English Ships, one a three-des:lrer, carrying a Rear-Admiral's Flag, and the other a two-decker, of the largest size. There. was also a three-decket among the Swedish Ships. The van. of the enemy, led by the English Ships, were then close up with our rear, and at five o'clock in the morning the two English Ships - attacked successively the Wsewolod, the Tait Ship of our rear,. which had fallen to . " Admiral CHANYKOW immediately bore down with the 'whole of his Squadron. The English, afraid of being cut of instantly tacked, and the Swedes did the same.- Captain RUDNEW, of the Wewolod, was the first to open his fire upon the. enemy, and vigorously-repulsed their attack in the view of the two •Fleets, but suffered much id his rig - ging. His main and top-gallant masts, and toe , greatest part of his running rigging, were shot to pieces, and he was no longer able to keep his place , in the line, which he communicated by signal. Ad miral CHANYKOW, who was an eye-witness to all this, allowed him to ge, into Baltic Port,. and oider ed a Frigate to take him in tow. In consequence of this,Our'Fieet was a Ship less in number even be fore thebattle began. Besides, the Sewerhcija Swesda could not set all her sails, on account of some sud.. den damage she had sustained. " From these causes the enemy was stronger than we, and Admiral CHANYKOW made sail for Baltic Port, to prevent the enemy from availing himself , of his superiority. The enemy also made sail to windward, and the English Vessels made use of all their dexterity to cut off the Wmwolod, which could not be, rput in condition, or kept up with our Fleet. To prevent this, Admiral CHANYKOW: threw- out a I Signal to the rear to cover this Ship, and te give her . every possible assistance; but having fallen too far to leeward, the. Wsewolod, botwitstanding all the • efforts or her Commander, and of the other Captains of the division, could tint get round the northern extremity of the Island of Rolla, and enter Baltic Port with the rest of the Fleet. She was therefore obliged to come to anchor to time northward of the Island, at a short distance from the shore. • " In the mean time the Commender in Chief en tered with all his Squadron, carne to anchor, and made every preparation necessary for repulsing the en e my ; but the latter stood . otiti with all his Fleet. The first care of the Admiral was to endeavour to bring in the WSewolnd ; and for this purpose he col letted all.the Boats, and appointed to this duty the Second Captains Mt N tzisot and TuLu 8.1 E OffiCel'S 'of talents and experience. At three in the afternoo 'they proceeded, and as there was but little wind, be gan to take the Vessel in tow. .The English Ships immediately in sight of the Swedish Fleet set all their sails, and it was imphssible for us to get up 'our anchors on account of the wind, which blew gently from ale North-east ; they bore down on the Wsewolod, which was attacked by one of the Eng lish Ships when she was jnit in the ad of rounding the neck of land, and in the evening she was at- I tacked by the other. 'All the. Boats were dispersed 'by the enemy's broadsides, but Captain MLNIZKOI colleaed them, and returned to the Squadron. " ,There soon ,commenced a fresh action between the IfisiaSsoisod and time two English Ships. • Captain RobesEw encouraged his crew, who, for the greater part, were composed of men taken from the Militia. His bravery inspired them with courage, anti he re- • ceived the enemy gallantly and intrepidly.. The fire of the. heavy guns was dreadthl on both sides ; thet of the small arms, which began shortly after, in- creased the horror of the fight; at every broadside, the shughter became greater. The Captain of the Wsewolod, who had so warmly received both his intrepid enemies, did not lose his presence of mind, but did them very great damage, supported by the most exemplary efforts of valour and skill from Cap tain TULUBJEW and the other Officers. The If/se wobd discharged iser whole broadside into the stern of one of the enemy's Vessels which got 'upon a sand-bank, and killed a number of her crew ; but having many shots through her hull, and making a great deal of water, she began to sink. s f` In this state of distress time Wsewolod hoisted the few tatters of sails which were left, and renewed the engagement. She was then boarded by one of the enemy's ships, and a dreadful carnage ensued: The enemy were frequently obliged to retreat, but returned to time cisaree with increased fury. All the mincers and' crew of the Wsewolod did their duty, and did not spare even to the last drop of their blood. ' The slaughter lasted upwards of an hour, and would have only ceased with the death of thelast of time combatants, had not the.other English Ship approached the If"sew4lod. .Having come' as close to her as she could, shegpve our vessel her whole broad side, and completely destroyed, her. The English then took ~ possession ,of a vessel shot through - and and filled with dead. Such of our people being no longer in a condition to resist at t ersoueui:glve enemy, jumped overboard, to avoid being taken prisoners, and ati of them by these means, support ed by oars and the floating wreck of the vessel, r escaped. . t ng li s h firsdiog it impossible to 'get the vessel oft; set her on tire, taking away the rest of the-`crew, of - which Rear-admiral Hoon sent butck flag of truce 37 wourtled; on' the tst :I of gust v.

A natural,con'sequence of the American Ernbarpo . has been to throw a most lucrative trade ibto the handS of the Canadian Merchants: Smuggling is carried on to a - great extent from the United Mates that Pro vince; and the peo,,le of Canada anxiously pray that their neighbours may continue a measure, which,. though ruinOusto them - , is highly advantageous to tht inhabitants of British Anierica. • It is stated in 'a letter from Lisboa of the 20th ult. that two days before, the French General ot: Cavalry, KELLI nMAN , Sellt back as a pres„,iit• to the 20th Light Dragoons, the horse waxtr Co:oncl - TnYr.ox rode when be was killed, and which had fallen into the en em y' s p ossess i on. COAL-HEAVERS.—Our Readers will reeolleta, these people lately entered in to a combination against their Masters and the Public for an increase or wiipe,;,' although -they—could earn Jbarteen shilLugs a *- Clay: without any - pftmrdioary exertion. The Magistrates, however, gave orders to their Officers' to aprehelid, such as should,presume to detilao4 a great 2r rate than'_ that allowed by the regulations. - The Coal-heavers then refused to work at aic expecting that their .

BoxtNo.--A very obstinately contested pitched battle w4`l - 6` , .1 morning, for . a purse of twenty gdifigisigifd a blooming, damsel of eighteen, between a 'gentleman coachman, of the name of Howard, and a , person of the name of tii idin, a. coach proprietor. The match was made in the heat of the moment on Monday last,. when the compe titors, who .Were rival suitors of the lady, both un luckily met together at her lodgings, and a short ren , . contre followed. 'Vile money was, staked, death or vitilory, and the parties met at day-break yesterday morning, in a field between Anton and Wormwood Scrubs. The ,battle lasted , 40 mituates, and about double that number of tremendous unskilful blows were excharwid. Viatc•ry, which alternately hovered over each, ultimately crowned the head of Howard, who was quite as badly beaten as his antagonist; and had .the young lass for whom they fonght been present, it would have puzzled her to distinguish the features of her champions. The, grand combat betwixt Gregson and Crib will take place on Tuesday se'nnight. The former is in training at, the Isle of Wight, anti, Crib is in die vicinity of Croydon. Bettings are even on the event, and the pugilists are in rine condition. AliEr:Dorm—Dr. ?Montague, Chaplain to Ki ng James L while wafti ng u p on biro when he was walk, ing in *6l44lneilsi - Paric, the King told the DoCtor that he was more troub,led how to dispose of the Bishopric of Ltfhdon (being then vacant), than he was of any thing in hiS life, because there are so many applying for it with such strong interest, that I know nut to whom to give it. The Doaor, told his Majesty, that if he had any faith he might easily dispose of it. Do you' take me for an infidel ? said the King. " No, please your Majesty," said the DoCtor, " but I say, if your Majesty had faith.you, might remove this mountain (clapping his hand upOn his proMinent belly) . into the See." The. King was so pleased with the pun that he gave him the Bishopric.' . On Monday evening, about seven o'clock., Mr. Anthony (a traveller from Manchester) Was stopped on the road,' about half way,,, between Wallingtor'd and Reading, by a footpad, who demanded his mo ney, which Mr. Anthony resolutely refused, when the footpad succeeded in dragging him out of 'his gig, and a desperate scuffle ensued, iti which the feotpa4 was knocked down, and probably would have been secured, had not another appeared, who presented a pistol, and shot Mr. Anthony ,through the lett breast, and he fell; they then proceeded to rifle his pockets, but., fortunately, he had put his'pocko book, which contained bills and notes to a consider able amount; into his gig box. When they had dot every thing out of his pockets, some liorSeS aVre heard at a short chitance, and the villains ,pade Through the kind atten t i on o f t wo Gentlemen, Mr. Anthony . was conveyed to Re a di ng , where great ,Anthony are entertained of his recovery. An inquisition was taken yesterday at the George Tavern, Duke-street, on the body of a youth of the name of Y eOvil ; who met His death suddenly on Tuesday. .• It appeared in evidence that the deceased, who - *As. ,the 4 .spn of a liquor merchant, had cunt plained :on Sunday night of a violent pain in th e chest', he having eaten immoderately of filberts whilst drinking wine.
